Blissedness

No they don’t 
some may do
but most doubt 
across from me 
cautious and uncertain 
like offering cream 
and some sugar 
having had neither 
they stare frightened 
it’s just intelligence 
I say nothing 
else just my
way of thinking 
fine I’ll try 
you can always 
throw me out 
if you find 
me too sweet 
and start over 
such is this 
thing called dating 
in the age 
of bliss ignorance
